Estelle's Info...
| Breed: | Domestic Shorthair | Color: | Tiger Striped | Age: | Kitten |
| Sex: | Female | Hair: | Short |
Hi, my name is Estelle and I was born in April of 2012 (approximation).
We were rescued from an alley that had a woodpile that was being removed. We are lucky that a caring family nearby heard us crying and came to save us. It's a good thing too because the colony around their house was full of FeLV positive cats and we could have easily caught up, but thankfully our mom tested negative and so did we, so it was in our best interest for Carol to take us into the adoption program so we wouldn't be at risk of such a scary disease. We were in foster for awhile before we were ready for adoption.
I am an opinionated girl with a little bit of 'cattitude'. I love to be the center of attention and like most kittens, I can be a little naughty. I will be out and about, always on the move if you let me have full reign to explore. I am outgoing and social; I am definitely a 'shoulder' cat. If you let me, I will sit on your shoulder and purr sweet nothings in your ear all day long. I also love to knead and sit in your lap. As much contact from you as possible is what I would lOVE! I would do best to go with another kitten (like one of my sisters) but I can go alone if it means I get a good home.
Fill out an adoption application for this pet right now!

Our Mission:
To end feline overpopulation in west Michigan through community education and empowerment.
Our Vision:
A future where every cat is valued and cared for.
What we do:
Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Carol’s Ferals assists community cat caregivers with TNR and support services. Cats are accepted three nights weekly and are spayed/neutered, treated for fleas, parasites and ear-tipped for easy identification. If desired, cats can be vaccinated or tested for infectious feline disease. Sick or injured cats are treated and returned when in the best interest of the cat and feline population. Carol’s Ferals does adoption of friendly cats and kittens obtained through our TNR program. We also advise caregivers how to find quality homes for cats they wish to help on their own.
Carol’s Ferals is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit, run by volunteers and funded by donors.

If you are interested in adoption one of our cats or kittens, the following steps need to be completed:
1. Completely fill out the Adoption Application. Applications may be found at http://www.carolsferals.org/application/
2. We will read your application and contact you if we need clarification before we begin a full application processing. Applicants that have homes that do not meet the basic needs for our cats after any preliminary discussion will be informed of a denial at this point.
3. Your vet/references will be called once you pass the initial reading plus any other references we deem necessary.
4. We will contact you and set up a time for you to meet the cat/kitten(s) you are interested in. All adult members of the household must be present. After meeting the cat/kitten(s) and our Adoption Coordinator, we will determine if you are approved for adoption.
5. We will inform you if you are approved for adoption and schedule a time for you to pick up your new cat/kitten to be taken home or allow a same-day adoption as long as a safe and secure carrier is present.
6. You will pick up your cat, along with official adoption paperwork, med records, and microchip paperwork (if applicable). We will collect the adoption fee at this time. We would also like to take a photo of the cat/kitten(s) with their new family.
Adoption Fees are $75 for one and $100 for two and help offset the cost of spay/neuter, microchipping, flea treatment, deworming, up to date shots, and FIV/FeLV testing.
All adopters are to sign a legally binding contract and will return the cat to us if they ever need to surrender the cat due to live-changing issues.
